IN WHICH DEPRESSION SUCKS
I hate to even write about this, because I don't like bringing others down. But, since it's highly doubtful anyone will read this post, I can look at it instead as a little personal catharsis. After all, talking about your problems is one avenue to trying to get a handle on them. And if it helps my writing, so much the better.

...what is the best way to do deal with depression besides antidepressants. I've been in a downward spiral since mid-December and although I perked up at the beginning of the year, the spiral has resumed. Rock bottom is near and the last time that happened I was minutes away from doing the deed if my wife hadn't caught me in the act. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Exactly what the title says.

What my consists of: school, minor depression, boredom, the Twilight Saga, church, youth group, and lack of friends in this new state.

I really hope you guys have been doing okay. Life has been... extremely hectic for nearly everyone recently, and for me personally, it's all been piling up on top of itself. Since my last post in 2017, I've been dealing with my depression in... unhealthy ways, and it was just until recently I realized that what I thought was me coasting, and just laying around, was me becoming uncomfortably comfortable with the idea of no longer being around. Part of my problem is that I put a lot... an

This guy is called Social Repose, and he's one of my favorite Youtubers, well, he found out about a girl with muscle dystrophy who in a couple weeks, Is taking herself off life support since she can't deal with the pain of it anymore, a type of party was arranged for her in the style of a prom to give her a send off, her last wish, however, was to Skype call Social Repose, he decided to instead meet her in person.

Thanks to the holiday, and accompanying depression, I have done nothing whatsoever productive for days. No work on any of the numerous story projects I have; let alone my current primary story (which is bloody huge and eating my brain). No new reviews done. Not hitting even one of my goals.

Don't worry, folks. I'm not going away, I was just venting some frustration.

My work is legitimately slowed down by the emotional crap, but it hasn't taken me out of the running yet. It just makes updates and new stories come slower, and it's been hard lately because I'm working on some juicy story ideas that I don't know if I'll be strong enough to publish.

I've been around for a bit. I've seen some things, done some things, and I've got my fair share of regrets.

I have enjoyed writing as an outlet, to get these feelings out of my head and onto a page so that I can inflict share them with you.

God, I've been slammed at work. I wish I could pump out stories faster. In the case of Junior Flight Camp, I've had trouble working on it for two reasons, exhaustion from work and writer's block. After Bronycon I got a little depressed, due to romantic issues, loneliness, and the general let down after something as awesome as Bronycon itself. It's harder for me to get into the characters and write what they're thinking in my "method writing" style. This is especially true of Rainbow

After some thought, I feel that everyone deserves an explanation behind last week's abrupt and shocking announcement of Love-Making As A Parent being my "final story".

As some of my older followers know, I deal with clinical depression constantly. Occasionally, as most people with depression, I enter into these phases which I've dubbed "dark spirals". These "spirals" are the low points in my depression. Well, last Thursday, I got hit with a large one.

I don't know if anyone is going to read this, probably no one. But if your finding your way through the darkness by yourself, find someone, ANYONE who can help. A friend, a family member, even someone on Fimfiction. Find someone to talk to, don't go through this alone.

We've lost to many to depression, anxiety, suicide, and other mental problems. Your NOT alone. Don't wait until it's to late, these nights are running short, and I do not want to lose anyone else.

i'm really hoping that perhaps this will end my years-long drought against writing. i was working on an oc tale on my own, but i got stuck so it's on hiatus for a while. the other night it finally occurred to me to write about my pony character, so let's hope this little muse that's singing in my ear sticks around for a while. i miss being creative, losing an rp place that had become dear to be was like a deep blow to my psyche. i had been inspired for the first time in years to role

I'm very depressed right now, this is the 2nd laptop I've had that had the same hard drive failure! I don't really want to ask, but I could really use some help to get a new one. Even if you can only get me a coffee from Kofi or a few dollars on Patreon helps.

Well, it's been an interesting week to say the least. I've had several new officers to train at my job over the last few months and unfortunately that cuts into my writing time, buuuuut, I finally had a chance to wrap up Chapter 7 tonight!

I don't feel like chapter's 5 or 6 adequately portrayed what Willow and Snow Star were really experiencing as a result of Black Rose's torment and, even now, we won't experience that fully until their book is released.

I wanted to talk about a realization I’ve had about depression, and specifically the suicidal side of depression. I want to start a discussion on this because it’s hard to talk about being suicidal, and that’s a problem. The main thing I’ve come to realize is that we only use one word, “suicidal”, but it means many more than one thing.
